| Summary: | The 2030 Agenda was approved by the General Assembly in 2015. However, its resolutions are not
legally binding, so it is unclear what kind of obligations it establishes and the possible international
liability that would arise from non-compliance. Being an instrument of soft law or soft law, its
application depends to a greater extent on the acceptance of the states, which is a political advantage
that should not be underestimated. Also, soft law rules often drive the development of international
law, helping to lay the foundation for codification and even facilitating the creation of customary
international law. This article aims to analyze the legal nature of the Agenda from an international
normative point of view and also examine how its content can be articulated in accordance with
International Law for states and for companies as non-state actors whose role is key in achieving
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
